Treatment of cervical osteochondrosis is a difficult task, as bone and cartilage tissue is poorly restored. In order for a person’s condition to return to normal (inflammation disappears, the vertebrae return to their place), sometimes surgical intervention is required. But this method is outdated.
The treatment of neck osteochondrosis in specialized clinics is:
- Medical assistance from unique specialists;
- Innovative effective treatment without surgery;
- Absence of pain, injections, side effects;
- Original German equipment;
- Long -term effects of therapy;
- Treat the cause of the disease, not the symptoms;
- Avoid inpatient treatment;
- 100% regeneration after course completion.

MBST therapy
All the attention of the doctor is focused on making sure the patient gets rid of the problems and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. MBST therapy allows you to eliminate the causes of disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and not only save the patient from unpleasant symptoms of the disease.
The operating principle of this therapeutic method is based on the fact that metabolism in tissues is controlled by electric and magnetic fields. If in a healthy organ or system the process of regeneration, that is, update, is continued independently, then in the event of a violation of function, they require the action of impulses from the outside. In MBST therapy, magnetic resonance is used as such an impulse, which sends a signal to diseased tissue that reproduces the signal of a healthy body system. Normal metabolism allows you to continue the process of regeneration in cartilage cells, bone tissue, tendons, and others. Because of this, cervical osteochondrosis is treated.
After 8-10 sessions, not only is the process of destruction stopped, but also the recovery of damaged tissue. The effects last for over 5 years without surgery and long -term medication!
The benefits of MBST
The most effective way to treat and save from neck osteochondrosis is MBST therapy. This method has the following advantages:
- absence of pain;
- high efficiency (even if the disease is not in its early stages);
- damaged tissue is restored throughout the year;
- get rid of the cause, do not relieve symptoms;
- no side effects.
If you are dealing with an illness, you do not have to go to the hospital for long-term treatment with medications. For complete recovery, it is enough to undergo several procedures (usually 5-9 times is enough), which take only 1 hour a day.
To restore mobility, relieve pain and improve quality of life, you must first sign up for an initial consultation over the phone. The doctor will create a personalized program for you, according to which the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis will take place. And after 2-6 weeks you can go back to your normal way of life and forget about the pain! The cost of the course depends on the severity of the disease.
What else can be treated with MBST therapy?
MBST therapy is indicated for people suffering from degenerative joint disease. For example: with ligament injuries, tendons, with osteoporosis, with chronic pain due to disorders of the vertebral joints.
This procedure is indicated primarily for the following diseases and disorders:
- arthrosis (stage I - III);
- osteoporosis;
- damaged vertebrae (some types of damage to the intervertebral disc);
- epicondylitis (inflammation of the tendons of the forearm at the point of connection with the muscles, typical for some sports loads - the so -called "tennis hand" and "golfer's elbow" syndrome);
- sports and other injuries with damage to muscles, tendons, ligaments.
- some types of jaw and dental orthopedics (temporomandibular joint arthrosis - all forms of temporomandibular joint arthrosis; restoration of jaw bone structure; acceleration of growth of dental implants; loosening of teeth).
Contraindications
- Any active electronic implants in or around the treatment area. Examples: pacemakers, defibrillators (ICD systems), insulin pumps and pain medications, etc.
- Pregnancy.
- Tumors and inflammation of a bacterial nature.
- Leukemia.
- HIV.
- Rheumatic diseases in the active stage.
Relative contraindications include ferromagnetic objects. Also, patients with high blood pressure or severe heart disease should undergo additional testing to determine if MBST can be used to treat certain diseases.
Etiology of the disease
Osteochondrosis of the cervical spine is a disease in which dystrophic processes occur and develop in the intervertebral disc, other tissues of the spine are affected. In the tissue of the destroyed and lost intervertebral disc elasticity, the inflammatory process begins, which leads to edema. This causes disruption to the nerve endings, which, in turn, causes severe and prolonged pain.
The development of symptoms precedes complications. The advanced stage can trigger damage to the musculoskeletal system, which will lead the patient to disability (partial or complete immobilization). It is important to diagnose and treat the disease at an early stage.
The reasons
The reasons for the development of the degenerative process of osteochondrosis in the intervertebral disc of the neck are not fully understood. The symptoms of the disease usually show themselves closer to 35 years. The development of cervical osteochondrosis can be provoked by overload, head injuries, and others. It is characteristic that the older a person suffers from osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, the more it manifests itself.
Here are the main reasons for the development:
- age -related changes;
- rachiocampsis;
- vertebral displacement;
- posture violations;
- genetic predisposition;
- spinal cord injuries;
- poor physical fitness;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- spinal load;
- strenuous physical activity;
- poor environmental conditions.
Symptoms of cervical osteochondrosis
To understand how to treat cervical osteochondrosis, consider its main features:
- severe pain in the neck - it is difficult for a person to turn his head (the pain can spread to the back of the head, ear and eye area, shoulders);
- pain in the hands (apparently sore muscles), which increases with little load;
- constant tension of the muscles of the spine and cervical head;
- headache (in the back of the head, radiating to the temples and crown of the head);
- dizziness;
- noise in the ears;
- proliferation of connective tissue in the area of the cervical spine;
- stiffness in the neck in the morning;
- throbbing when turning the body or head
It is a feature of the disease that the discomfort does not go away even at night. Neck pain and other signs of illness are just some of the symptoms. Patients with osteochondrosis of the cervical spine also often complain of decreased visual acuity, hearing loss, numbness of the tongue, pain in the heart, and others. People try to make their own "diagnosis of the disease". All of this can worsen a person’s well -being, as diagnosis and treatment are issues that need to be addressed by doctors. Therefore, if you find the first symptoms of osteochondrosis of the cervical area, we recommend that you seek help from a doctor.
Effect
Can osteochondrosis cause a more serious illness? The answer is clear: yes, it can.
Osteochondrosis of the cervical region is the cause of the development of vertebral artery syndrome, when, in addition to pain in the neck, tinnitus appears, "flies", colored spots in front of the eyes, and slight dizziness appear. Compression of nerve roots and blood vessels can cause disc displacement in the posterolateral direction of the side, protrusion, and other pathologies. The entire spine will respond immediately to the displacement of the vertebral disc.
Lack of rapid onset in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis leads to the development of the following complications:
- cervical disc herniation;
- paralysis, paresis (decreased muscle strength due to damage to the nerve pathways that connect the brain to muscles or muscle groups) of the upper limbs on one or both sides;
- cerebral ischemic stroke (occurs against the background of circulatory disorders of the brain);
- spinal stroke - an acute violation of spinal circulation with damage to the spinal cord and disruption of its function due to cessation of blood flow.
Diagnosis of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine
Treatment of osteochondrosis should begin with a comprehensive diagnosis of the patient. It includes:
- Examination of the patient. If the disease has reached stage 2-3, there is a significant deformation of the skeleton, possibly a displacement of the vertebrae. The treating physician should collect anamnesis to exclude or confirm the hereditary route of transmission.
- Laboratory research of blood, urine.
- X-ray examination to determine the presence and size of osteophytes, height or contour of the cervical intervertebral disc.
- Discography will determine the outline of the nucleus pulposus. This procedure involves the introduction of a contrast agent.
- Computed tomography is used in rare cases, because the diagnosis is carried out with strong radiation, which is negative for the patient.
- An ECG is performed to rule out or confirm cardiac ischemia.
Pain is not a verse! Seek expert advice if you are worried about persistent neck pain - treatment will prevent the risk of developing more serious pathologies.
Methods of treatment of cervical osteochondrosis
Alternative medicine
Non -traditional medical therapy is not recommended in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis. However, the treating physician may allow you to supplement the course with a prescription. The most well -known methods by which you can supplement, rather than replace therapy, are:
- treatment of cervical osteochondrosis with heating compresses with propolis;
- massage (he will return the vertebrae to their position and relax the muscles). Massage must be performed by a doctor, otherwise the procedure can endanger the patient;
- water procedures;
- treatment of cervical osteochondrosis with a tincture based on lemon and garlic (cooking, rubbing).
Traditional medicine and medicines themselves may not bring results, but also harm the patient. They only relieve the symptoms of the disease - the disease itself does not disappear, but gradually develops, which can lead to serious complications. Therefore, we recommend that you seek medical help at the first sign of the disease.
conservative methods
Medical therapy
Conservative treatment of cervical osteochondrosis, if a serious degree of disease is detected, includes continued medication. Such funds restore blood circulation, bone tissue and help from unpleasant side effects. They are prescribed by a doctor after a thorough examination.
In the classical treatment of cervical osteochondrosis, chondoprotectors and vasodilators are used. Chondoprotectors are preparations (ointments, tablets) for the restoration of cartilage and bone tissue, and vasodilators are a way to restore blood flow, as well as the supply of nutrients to the affected tissues. One of the properties of the drug is its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis. Tablets, ointments or injections - this form of drug release has many options. What type of drug treatment the patient needs, the doctor will determine.
Treatment of symptoms and the disease itself is effectively carried out with physiotherapeutic procedures. Basically, they are needed for the gradual recovery of the affected tissue and are prescribed in addition to drug therapy. Physiotherapy reduces the intake of drugs, which are good for the liver, eliminating systemic side effects and allergies. Therefore, patients who have no contraindications, they are prescribed. Different physiotherapy methods can be used together or separately.
The main task of the doctor, with classical therapy, is not the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis. And the elimination or reduction of the severity of the corresponding symptoms (pain, muscle cramps, etc. ).
NSAIDs
At stage 2-3, the patient complains of sharp, penetrating pain that manifests itself with head movements. Then they were prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Sometimes intramuscular injections are used. The drug has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. This is true in the event of an injury by a dislocated disc of the soft tissue of the neck.
Hormones
When intramuscular administration of NSAIDs does not relieve swelling and inflammation, hormonal agents are used. Glucocorticosteroids have a pronounced analgesic, anti-edematous effect. Hormonal preparations with anesthetics are used for drug restriction. But glucocorticosteroids should not be used frequently. They are harmful to internal organs, damage cartilage, bones, ligament-tendon devices. Hormonal agents adversely affect the immune system.
Anesthetic
Often, in the treatment of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, anesthetics are used for drug restriction. They are characterized by a pronounced analgesic effect and a wide range of applications. In the treatment of degenerative-dystrophic pathology, they are prescribed for peripheral nerve blockade and nerve nodes. It is the violation of the roots of the spine by the protrusion of the hernia that causes acute pain.
Local irritants
Ointments and balms with a warming effect are often prescribed for the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis, but in the absence of soft tissue inflammation. The ingredients that make up their composition irritate the sensitive nerve endings located in the subcutaneous tissue, relieving pain. Such drugs have a vasodilating effect, accompanied by an intense and prolonged sensation of heat.
Preparations to improve blood microcirculation
Means to improve blood circulation are used in the treatment of osteochondrosis of any localization. But with neck pathology, they are more often needed. In this part of the spine, there is often arterial compression, where nutrients and oxygen enter the brain. Often used to enhance microcirculatory preparations with thioctic acid. They dilate blood vessels, restore spinal root function, increase trophism and conservation.
vitamin
To improve a person's well -being, strengthen the body's defenses, replenish the reserves of substances necessary for tissue regeneration, patients are prescribed a balanced complex of vitamins and micronutrients. It is enough to take one tablet of any medication daily to eliminate the deficiencies that have arisen. But more often used in the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis are injections with B group vitamins. B group vitamins in tablets can also be prescribed. The use of their course helps to improve the transmission of nerve impulses, stimulating natural mechanisms aimed at recovery.
Chondroprotectors
This is the only group of drugs used for the pathogenetic treatment of neck osteochondrosis. In the early stages of pathological development, chondroprotectors are used for partial rehabilitation of the intervertebral disc. This effect is due to the ability of chondroitin and glucosamine to stimulate proteoglycan synthesis, increase the production of hyaluronic acid, activate all functions of cartilage cells (chondrocytes), and inhibit their premature destruction.
Surgical intervention
How to treat cervical osteochondrosis if nothing helps? It is believed only the operation is still in place. Surgery is prescribed in the following cases:
- 3 months of non -invasive therapy did not give results, the patient continued to experience severe pain, cramps and other diseases;
- neck conditions pose a threat to the patient’s health (important arteries are pinched, high risk of stroke or brain cell death is created);
- deformity of the vertebrae or intervertebral discs of the neck leads to serious mobility limitations resulting in disability;
- as a result of pinching the nerve endings, the limb is taken.
The list of clues can be expanded. But one thing remains common: surgery is performed only when there is a serious danger to the patient. Before that, they tried to survive with more benign recovery options.
Treatment of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine with conservative methods gives results, but also discomfort to the patient. If we are talking about surgery, then you should be aware that any surgery involves a fairly serious recovery period.
Prevention of osteochondrosis of the cervical region
To prevent osteochondrosis of the neck or any other problem with the spine from becoming relevant to you, it is recommended to adhere to the following tips:
- lead an active lifestyle: swim in the pool, run in the morning, do exercise (gymnastics and special exercises are often practiced not only for prevention, but also for the treatment of the neck itself);
- when busy in an inactive job, you should try to sit with your back straight and shoulders relaxed;
- sedentary work should be carried out on a chair with the back that will support the spinal column;
- so that during night rest the spine is in the correct position, it is recommended to get an orthopedic mattress and pillows;
- avoid lifting heavy objects, if this is unavoidable, then they should be lifted smoothly;
- while playing sports, monitor the accuracy of training, as various injuries can trigger vertebral displacement and lead to the development of disease;
- You should add dietary foods enriched with vitamins and trace elements.
Massage courses are also an effective method of preventing many diseases of the spine, which are only beneficial for the body as a whole. However, keep in mind that you cannot use the services of masseurs and "chiropractors" who do not have medical education and permits for related work. Only an expert should take care of your body.
Protecting yourself from the development of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine is quite difficult, but nothing is impossible. If you find any signs of pathology, seek help from a specialist to determine the nature of the symptoms that arise. There is a possibility that the cause may not be in the spine, but a violation of the function of other systems and organs.
Subject to the rules listed above, the likelihood of developing osteochondrosis of the cervical spine is reduced. Remember that preventing the progression of a disease is easier than treating it.
Cervical osteochondrosis treatment is available today! No surgery, no risks or complications after surgical treatment! If you have been diagnosed with the disease or have any other spinal disease, make sure you undergo a consultation where you will be given appropriate treatment.
